Abstract: The invention relates to a semiconductor device with a substrate (11) and a semiconductor body (12) with a heterojunction bipolar, in particular npn, transistor with an emitter region (1), a base region (2) and a collector region (3), which are provided with, respectively, a first, a second and a third connection conductor (4, 5, 6), and wherein the bandgap of the base region (2) is smaller than that of the collector region (3) or of the emitter region (1), for example by the use of a silicon-germanium mixed crystal instead of pure silicon in the base region (2). Such a device is characterized by a very high speed, but its transistor shows a relatively low BVeeo. In a device (10) according to the invention the doping flux of the emitter region (1) is locally reduced by a further semiconductor region (20) of the second conductivity type which is embedded in the emitter region (1). In this way, on the one hand, a low-impedance emitter contact is ensured, while locally the Gummel number is increased without the drawbacks normally associated with such an increase. In this way, the hole current in the, npn, transistor is increased and thus the gain is decreased. The relatively high gain of a Si—Ge transistor is responsible for the low BVCeOf which is consequently avoided in a device (10) according to the invention. Preferably the further semiconductor region (20) is recessed in the emitter region (1) and said emitter region (1) preferably comprises a lower doped part that borders on the base region (2) and that is situated below the further semiconductor region (20). The invention also comprises a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device (10) according to the invention.

Abstract: Before a reel change a new core ( 5 ) is brought to a change station. When the old reel (R) is full, the web is changed to travel to the new core periphery and primary reeling beings. The web forms a reel through a reeling nip (N 1 ) between the loop of an endless supporting member ( 1 ) and the core. A change is made to secondary reeling, where a portion of the supporting member ( 1 ) brings the web to the reel, to move over to the reel in a nip (N) between said portion and the reel outer periphery. The core ( 5 ) is transferred so the nip (N) moves forward. A first guide roll ( 2 ) is transferred towards the core periphery so the distance of the nip (N 1 ) located between the core ( 5 ) and the loop of the supporting member ( 1 ) from the first guide roll ( 2 ) changes in the primary reeling.

Abstract: A separating apparatus includes a separating chamber in which cyclonic separation is able to take place, an inlet to the separating chamber and a shroud that includes a wall having a multiplicity of through-holes forming an outlet from the separating chamber and also includes a lip extending from the wall into the separating chamber, the lip having has a plurality of apertures therethrough. The provision of apertures in the depending lip allows the airflow to be drawn through the apertures while it is still in the separating chamber. This has the effect of capturing some of the dirt and dust which remains entrained within the airflow so that it collects on the upstream side of the lip. Thus the shroud through-holes are presented with less entrained dirt and dust and the risk of the through-holes becoming blocked is reduced.
